Amongst other things, yes. I’m just about to release 0.4.5 which I hopefully is right this time.

Doing releases while the trunk is in turmoil is BAD.

It’s a known problem with the Twitter side. The friends_timeline sends just one URL for the avatar and they are not resizing it. They fixed it, but there is no word about old (non-properly-sized) images yet.

We have a patch in the issue database (http://code.google.com/p/mitter/issues/list) but, since the trunk is still shaping up for a release, I didn’t apply it yet. It will be there in the next 1.0 alpha release.

it seems i have run into a bug with mitter (and its not the only offender).

basically its using the wrong url to grab the avatar, resulting in it downloading the full size image that the user uploaded, not the resized version seen in the profile page or the even smaller one used in the stream of entries on ones home page.

end result, if someone uploads a very large base image, it will push all text areas out of view, even in a full screen mitter window!

Comment on Yahoo’s 100 Movies To See Before You Die by Hisham

I “scored” 37 out of 100. From the ones you marked as not watched and that I have watched, I highly recommend these ones in particular (based also on what I know from your taste)

Wings of Desire (1988)
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)
Network (1976)
Citizen Kane (1941)

(List sorted by “priority”, as in “if you’re only gonna watch a subset, start from the top” — even though Kane is my fave from the list, I’m not sure if it’s your cup of tea.)

I feel like such a loser. I work at a movie theater and yet I’ve haven’t seen this one.

Fuck yeah, I loved Zooey in H2G2, but this time it looks so… boring.

Of course, she was doing a movie with *the* Jim Carey, so it may be that she shouldn’t be more charismatic than the main guy, like in “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, where everyone had to settle down for “smaller” parts due Sean Connery (even when the comics say that Mina [the vampire] was the League leader).

Heh, that movie was awesome. I loved it.

Norman: “Did you just call me Norm’? Can that be like… my nick name? Alright, Car’! See, that can be yours!”

Or something along those lines. I have yet to find the quote of a clip of it online, sadly.

Norm most definitely makes up for the personality of Carl’s best friend. And Zooey Deschanel is amazing.
